If your home or property was damaged because of something a neighbor, contractor, or nearby business did or failed to do you may be able to file a liability claim against their insurance.
A liability claim for property damage is when someone else’s actions or negligence cause damage to your home, building, or belongings and their insurance policy should cover your loss.
A tree from your neighbor's yard falls on your roof or fence
A fire spreads from another unit or building and damages your property
A business's irrigation or drainage system floods your lawn or foundation
A contractor on another property causes physical damage to your home
A neighboring apartment's burst pipe leaks into your condo
Liability claims can be slow, frustrating, and complex especially when the other party doesn't want to accept blame.
Investigate the cause and determine who is responsible
Identify the correct insurance carrier and coverage
Collect evidence (photos, videos, estimates, repair quotes)
Prepare and file the liability claim on your behalf
Negotiate for full payment of repair or replacement costs
Follow up until you're fully compensated
We represent you, not the insurance company—and we don’t stop until your property is made whole.
Roof, siding, or structural damage
Fencing, landscaping, or exterior repairs
Interior damage caused by water or fire
Foundation or grading issues from third-party runoff
Replacement of damaged personal property (if applicable)
Temporary repairs and board-up services
Demolition, cleanup, and disposal costs
Code upgrades, permits, and reinspection fees
No. If they have a valid homeowners or commercial policy, we can submit a third-party claim directly to their insurer—even if they don’t want to cooperate.
That’s common. We review the facts, gather evidence, and challenge unfair denials. If needed, we can also work with attorneys or experts to back up your claim.
We can still help. Just make sure to document everything photos, receipts, contractor invoices and we’ll build the claim around what you’ve spent.
Someone else's negligence damaged your property. Let's make sure their insurance pays for it not you.
